Chassagne-Montrachet

1er Cru Abbaye de Morgeot - Récolte du Domaine

It derives from the name of the hamlet near Chassagne-Montrachet surrounding the ruins of an old Abbey.

A demanding vintage. 2023 is now seen as the hottest year with the temperatures above seasonal averages. This vintage is also characterized by significant water deficit during the growing season and strong disease pressure. We also noticed strong heterogeneities in maturity with dynamics that are difficult to anticipate. The harvest was generous, allowing us to carry out a thorough sorting, especially on the Pinot Noir.
